A note about my oldest posts: I began blogging about brain cancer in 2008, at age 29. I had no background or knowledge about healthcare when I started. Please excuse typos and other misconceptions. What you read here is me in real time, like a time capsule.

I said, “This may sound creepy, but I have a photo of my incision two weeks after surgery while the stitches are still in it. It's on the Internet, I could show you.”
